NAME
     jk_jailuser - a utility to put an existing user in a jail

SYNOPSIS
     jk_jailuser [OPTIONS] <username> [more usernames]

     jk_jailuser --jail=/path/to/jail <username>

DESCRIPTION
     The  jk_jailuser  utility	will change the shell of an existing user <user-
     name> to jk_chrootsh and change the home directory  to  <jail>/./<previous-
     home-directory>,  and  it	will  add the user to <jail>/etc/passwd. On *BSD
     systems this is <jail>/etc/master.passwd and pwd_mkdb is used  to	generate
     the other password files.

     The  jk_jailuser  utility will abort if the <jail>/etc/passwd file is miss-
     ing, or if the shell is missing in the jail.

     If <previous-home-directory> was already inside the jail, a  /./  separator
     is  placed on the correct location in the path. If the previous home direc-
     tory was not in the jail, it is changed. In interactive mode you are  asked
     if  you want to move the contents. In non-interactive mode the contents are
     only moved if the --move option is specified.

OPTIONS
     -j --jail=jail
	    The jail directory to use. This jail should exist, and  should  have
	    at least <jail>/etc/passwd

     -v --verbose
	    Will give verbose output

     -h --help
	    The help screen

     -m --move
	    Move  the  contents of the home directory inside the jail. If in in-
	    teractive mode, jk_jailuser will ask  if  the  directory  should  be
	    moved  if  that is necessary. In non-interactive mode this option is
	    disabled by default.

     -n --noninteractive
	    No user interaction.

     -s --shell=shell
	    The shell to use inside the jail. Defaults to /usr/sbin/jk_lsh
